I bought a few watches from Ryan. He is a great seller. That said, I won't be ordering an ARF until they have plenty to choose from in stock. I think the TDS will stock this watch as its popularity increases. I don't care for the gap between the crown and case. This must be only the ARF versions.

Good point: it's gotta be hard for a TD to pick a good one when they're lucky to get one.

I don't get it, why wouldn't they have plenty to choose from and get lucky to just have one? Both factories and TDs only make money if they sell hundreds at least, these are few Hundred bucks' watches so what's the point retaining supply?

Is there a picture dump of everything in this thread? I want to see all the pix without scrolling through all the pages.

My ARF is ready!!!

My watch smith was impressed by the quality of this watch, he couldn’t believe they got so far (or so close to genuine Rolex!).. he found the seconds hand cracked and the crown gasket defective, he fixed everything all around and he oiled the movement which he found impressive as well (in terms of accuracy and performance in general). He fixed the “fast” hour hand and he installed the gen crystal, watch not with me but from the pics I feel the DW is good as the date doesn’t look over magnified as before.. my smith works with genuine Rollie’s and he has a very good depth testing gear which he uses with DeepSea Dwellers as well, he found the construction very good and after changing the crown and crystal gaskets with genuine ones he got same depth rating as the original ones... somewhere close to the 300m, not that I am going to need it of course lolol!!

I managed to have a look at the watch at my local dealer, he only got 1 in stock.. first impression, wow that bezel really shines! But the DW is a let down in my opinion, i think my v7 has better DW.. and the date changes at 10pm not midnight ????.. so i decided not to buy it at the moment.. i know i am nitpicking here but i guess i will be patient enough to wait for a better version lol

Nice pic, as with any rep there will be something that will bug you. And maybe not someone else.

We have been advised to change the DW disc, and crystal. Should be a real nice watch once doing that.

Passed the wrist test last night. Two time gen owner (sold the first and second was stolen). This really is a remarkable rep!
